Frequently Asked Questions

Because booking gigs shouldn't be complicated. Roadie gives independent artists and venues a simple, all in one platform to connect, book, and get paid without endless emails, uncertainty, or high fees. Artists can create, set, and manage their EPK, schedule, and rates from one dashboard, while venues can discover talent and fill their calendars faster. With secure payments, built in messaging, and transparent pricing, Roadie makes live music easy, professional, and artist-first.

Artists and Venues each create profiles. Artists set their availability, pricing, and performance details. Venues search for artists who match their needs and send requests to the artist or accept artist requests. Both artists and venues can send booking requests, ensuring greater reach for both parties. Both parties can confirm and finalize payment all within the same platform and handle payment in person the day of the show.
